Quiet Evening

The cousins went home this afternoon.  Jake and Chloe are adjusting.

Chloe has been circling through the house, sniffing the kennels and blanket left behind.  Jake is sleeping in one of the kennels that Kylie and Ellie had been sleeping in - something he didn't do during the past week.

There may be moping over the next couple of days.

Everyone's a Critic

Trying to clean with 4 dogs in the house is a challenge.

4 dogs watching me vacuum.  And if something is missed - a piece of dirt, a clump of dog hair - one of them is always eager to point it out, sniffing around the spot that I missed.

Following me around where ever I go, but no one offering a paw to help.

Cousins

Yeah! The cousins are here.  Loads of fun, dog hair, and opportunities for Jake to play with/annoy other dogs.  Even Chloe was excited - trotting around the yard with her tail up when Kylie & Ellie arrived.

Growing Up

At 7 months, the puppy is 45 lbs. and has moved into his adult collar.  My husky puppies started off with hand-me-down small collars.  Juno wore Maggie's 1st collar - that collar is now on Juno's stuffed lizard that I keep in my bedroom.  Jake's 1st collar is the one that Juno received from Adopt-A-Husky (a snap collar, from which huskies are prone to escape).  Magic & Chloe wore their original Adopt-A-Husky collars.

Their collars are their clothing for their entire lives, accumulating tags as the years go by (except Maggie, who lost more of her tags than stayed attached).

It's become a rite of passage - moving up to the big blue collar.
